Guys I'm gonna buy a mobo tomorrow. Budget 12k. Should I go for P67 or Z68? I need it only for gaming and regular stuff.

^^P8Z68-V - 12k(If 6 sata ports is enough n no need for extra 2*usb 3.0 bracket)...

Ditto, or maybe Gigabyte Z68X UD3P.

But if I'm always gonna use a video card, is Z68 any good for me. Video conversion means nothing to me and SSDs are way out of budget.

If your gpu ever needs rma(hopefully never), you'd have no means of using the pc, rma takes about a month in most cases or more, you'll be stranded then.

I had the same situation too... But bcoz of Z68 chipset, price< P67 PRO i got the P8Z68-V..

Diff..

Contents | P8P67 PRO | P8Z68-V OC Features |same|same
sata 3.0 ports |4|2
sata 2.0 ports |4|4
IEEE 1394a ports |yes|no

Gskill Ripjaws X or Corsair Vengeance ? Which one and why not the other ? Is it only cause Vengeance has clearance issues ? Or does one of them perform better ?

Ripjaws X...

1. clearance with large CPU cooler
2. looks cool(IMO)
3. performance wise both are good.

Our forum member Faun has switched to ripjaws X due to lack clearance..

 

[Skud]

I may be repeating, but vengeance is ugly!!! Dominator is better, but GSkill looks best.

 

[constantine]

So performance wise they are at par ?
On another forum i read vengeance OCs better . True ? or are they the same as ripjaws x in this case as well ?

Cause if theres no difference then i'll go for gskill and save some money .

 

[Tenida]

Gskill x better and also oc better than vengence

 

[constantine]

Sweet , then g skill Ripjaws X it is thanks !

Any reviews on BenQ EW2430V and Asus ML238H ?

 

[MegaMind]

ML238H

 

[constantine]

Is the Benq ew2430v any good in opposition to the Dell u2311h ?
